"I Got You"

Sometimes?I get in that"what if" moodand start freakin' outabout the smallest thingsin life.

Even what I want to dowith that piece of chicken.

I mean,I could roast it.Bake it.Let it drown in oil.{Oh yummy}Or let it burn.

As for the bigger thingsin life,ya.

I worry.

But let me just say...Conference sort of gaveme a new perspective.{As always}.

It was as if President Uchdorf's talk{among many}was speaking directly to me.

Heavenly Father could have beensitting there next to me saying,"Girl,I got this.You know I do.I've been here fromthe moment you were created.Don't you realize that?

I think about you every day.Every moment.I think about your worriesof that lack of milk in the fridge.I care about your feelingswhen you have a bad hair day.I ponder the thoughts you haveabout wanted to make the rightdecision in a selection of youreternal companion...and I know you don't want todisappoint that future husbandof yours.I know you're working towards beingthe best wife you could possibly bewith all your stength.

I know that you worryabout the whole school thingand want it to work out.You don't want to give up.You want to keep becoming,while still doing My will.I know.It's tough, huh?

I understand.I think about how yourbody aches and your eyescan't stay open.I think about the peaceyou find from sun lightand the wind.{That's why I give it to you}.

I think about your constant thoughtsabout making sure others are happy.I care about what your favorite snack is.{You should eat chocolate more often. ;)}

I want you to know,I hear those prayers.

They aren't just lost to the wind.I actually LISTEN.I don't pretend to.I do.

And I am here.Talk to me, sweet girl.I do listen and prayfor you.

I want you to tellme about all thisso that I can help out.Give you that hug.Wipe your tears.

I care so deeply,that you can't evencomprehend it.

YOU MATTER.

Can you remember thisfor me?

And keep smiling thatradiant, beautiful smile?

'Cause it sure makes my day. ;)

I love you,sweetheart.

Never forget it."
